Thanks Elise for sharing your work and website with us. Below is a bit that she wrote me regarding her business. I love the idea of a pottery class as opposed to a paint your own pottery approach!
A little background: my business is geared toward experiential tourism –
living in a tourist town, I teach 2-hour ‘Make Your Own Pottery’
classes (as opposed to ‘paint-your-own.”) My Facebook page is mostly
about student work – all the photos are of pottery done in those 2
hours, or a special ongoing kids class.
My webpage has images of my pots and info about my classes. There are
links to info for my community college students, too, on history of
clay, etc.

Dorothy Alexander Roush and Martha Thompson Dinos Galleries
This exhibition features ceramic works that reveal the progression of
Athens artist Michael Simon’s work over the course of his career. The
objects are Simon’s “pick of the kiln”: the pieces he chose to keep
after every kiln firing. Simon began selecting these items later in his
career after sending previous work to exhibitions, shops and fairs for
almost a decade without keeping any. He chose one object from each
firing to track how his work developed over time. The exhibition
features dozens of objects, some that simply appealed to Simon and
others because they represent a desired form. Simon’s body of work
features mostly functional objects. His interest in pottery originates
from the role that pots play within the household, serving a utilitarian
purpose such as food preparation, serving and storage.
